| It's official and now has a name! Mission Macaw! -- Posted by faa-admin on April 27, 2008 02:50 PM |
For months, Ohio addicts have been watching the structure of a Larson Flying Scooter rise amidst the construction at the former Wyandot Lake park in Columbus Ohio.
We all knew what it was, even if the new park owners - the Columbus Zoo - wouldn't confirm it. Well, now its official. The new scooter at Jungle Jack's Landing is Mission Macaw! Here's the official ride description, from a special advertising section in the Sunday April 27th Columbus Dispatch:
Mission Macaw: In parks since the 1940s this classic ride gives riders control over their flight by manually controlling the rudder. Eight vehicles can seat up to 2 riders each. Guests must be 48" tall to ride or at least 42" and accompanied by an adult.
No word yet on sail design or other theming, but we now to know a bit more about its opening. Mission Macaw, along with the 14 other dry rides at Jungle Jack's Landing, will open on Memorial Day (May 26th). To visit Jungle Jacks, you must purchase admission to the Columbus Zoo ($10) or Zoombezi Bay Waterpark ($29.99) and pay for each ride using a reloadable "Ride Card". All 3 parks are located on the northwest side of Columbus. For more info, call the Zoo at (800) MONKEYS.
Check out more information at our Jungle Jack's Landing page.

Another NEW Flyer for 2008! On April 5th, 2008, Castle Park in Riverside California announced their newest ride - Dragon Flyers. The Larson International ride is set to open by Memorial Day near their Big Top Restaurant. The cars will be painted a dark blue, with an incredibly detailed fire-breathing dragon graphic covering both the front are rear sails. Check out our NEW page on Castle Park, as well as the full press release and larger image of the concept art. And big thanks for Castle Park GM Rolf Paegert for providing Flyer Addicts with those materials. The Flyer Addicts look forward to visiting your park in 2008. This brings the expected operating Flying Scooter count to 26 this season. Look for announcements soon on two other Larson models, including the rebirth of the set from the short-lived Wild West World in Kansas. HAPPY FLYING ALL!

| Happy New Year Addicts! -- Posted by faa-admin on December 29, 2007 09:54 PM |
The staff at Flyer Addicts Anonymous wanted to take this time to thank you for helping us get ready for the public unveiling of our website, www.flyeraddicts.com
We thank you for your information and pictures that have helped us catalog the 23 operating flying scooters in the US and United Kingdom. Your contributions have helped us take this website from a casual idea to a informative reality.
But we know that there is still much work to be done. Through just simple research, we have already documented over 100 flying scooter installations dating back to the 1930s. Now, we’re combing through several subscription databases for first-hand newspaper descriptions of new installations, auctions, accidents and even traveling carnivals.
But, these subscriptions are not cheap. So, to help defray some costs, we offer our charter subscribers and friends a special opportunity to help fund our continued research and own a LIMITED EDITION Flyer Addicts polo shirt!
